Last Weekend in Vancouver

I feel like one of those F-14s in Top Gun, perched on the deck, bracing for the tug of the catapult, pre-launch. It's about time.

Last night was my band MELD's last gig and these shows have a tendency to obscure anything that's happening after them. I imagine it feels kind of like not being able to think ahead past your next meal. As soon as dinner's finished, the fog clears and you can plan the next few hours.

Both the gig and the party afterwards were exhilarating fun—I couldn't have asked for more on my last weekend in Vancouver. (Read Raul's take.) And now, recovered from last night, the fog has lifted and the last items on my to-do list are sorting themselves out in my head.

Four sleeps.
